Saints’ stars return for Drogheda replay

Another tight encounter is likely this evening (7.45pm) when Drogheda United and St Patrick’s meet again — this time at Hunky Dorys Park — with a place in the FAI Cup semi-final at stake.

Liam Buckley’s side bossed the game at Inchicore on Friday but came up against an inspired keeper in Gabriel Sava and Pat’s haven’t scored in the clubs’ three meetings this season.

The Saints’ striking options could be boosted for the replay, however, as Anto Flood and Dean Kelly have both returned to training, their top scorer Christy Fagan may also play if he comes through a late fitness test and Stephen O’Flynn is available again after coming on as a sub the last day.
